Slyusarov Oleksandr Stepanovych

Slyusarov Oleksandr Stepanovych serves as an Associate Professor at the Department of Automobiles, Heat Engines and Hybrid Power Plants within the Faculty of Transport at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University. With over 35 years of continuous service since 1989, he maintains an active research profile with numerous recent publications and patents. His academic credentials include a Candidate of Technical Sciences degree with a dissertation on "Passability of vehicles when overcoming water obstacles" (1986) from the Moscow Automobile and Road Institute.

His educational background includes a degree with honors from Zaporizhzhia Machine-Building Institute named after V.Ya. Chubar (1976) in Automotive Engineering, specializing in "Automobiles and tractors" with qualification as an "engineer-mechanic". He teaches courses in Vehicle Performance, Specialized Rolling Stock, Fundamentals of Car Strength and Durability, and Design of Non-Standard Diagnostic Equipment.

Dr. Slyusarov's research primarily focuses on amphibious vehicles, vehicle passability, and hydrodynamic characteristics of water-borne propulsion systems. His recent work demonstrates continued innovation in physical modeling techniques, dimensional analysis, and the development of testing methodologies for automotive components. His publications consistently address practical engineering challenges in vehicle design and performance validation.

His research output shows a clear progression from fundamental studies of vehicle-water interactions in the 1980s to sophisticated modeling techniques and practical applications in modern vehicle design. The consistent theme throughout his career has been optimizing vehicle performance in challenging environments, particularly water obstacles.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Chest badge of NU "Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic" "For impeccable work" II degree (2025)
• Chest badge of ZNTU "For impeccable work" III degree
• Honorary certificate of Zaporizhzhia Regional Council (2012)
• Honorary certificate of Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration (2011)
• Honorary certificate of Zaporizhzhia Regional Administration (2000)

As guarantor of the Doctor of Philosophy educational program in "Industrial Mechanical Engineering," he plays a significant role in academic leadership. His recent professional development includes internships at Priazovsky State Technical University (2023) and Tavria State Agrotechnological University (2018), focusing on modern service systems and agricultural vehicle passability. His ORCID (0000-0003-2416-8978), Web of Science (JHS-7950-2023), and Google Scholar profiles document his extensive publication record of 30 scientific papers, including 2 patents.
